Best Permalink Structure for WordPress SEO
All webmaster should do this changes just after installing WordPress because Permalink Structure plays an important role in Search Engine Optimization of your WordPress Blog.
You will provided the permalink structure something like https://www.ehowportal.com/?p=123 by default but you can change it according to day and time, month and name , Numeric or you can setup your own.Since Numeric is not recommended because Search Engine will fine now words in your URL so it is not advised.It is recommended to use following Permalink for WordPress.
/%category%/%postname%.html
or
/%post_id%/%postname%/
It is not necessary to use html at the end,you can simply ignore it also. So if I am trying to post anything it will displayed as https://www.ehowportal.com/blogging/wordpress/index-webpage-in-google/ because I am using the second one permalink structure.So It will setup your URL like first of your blog then after it will add category and then your post name will be displayed.You can change your wordpress Permalink structure by going toWordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalink.

Setup Admin Password
The second thing I will recommend is to generate strong password for your WordPress blog, because after installing WordPress, It will randomly setup your password by assigning some characters and which can not be remind each and everyday whenever you are going to login to your WordPress blog.(You can remember that default password if you tell your browser to save password for you!).So change your WordPress password and manage authors for your blog.

By default just like random password, WordPress will assign admin for username and that can not be changed,so anyone can guess your password and try to hack your WordPress blog.I will suggest to add another user with your name and make the username as admin than delete the old one admin username so you will have your choice of username and password for your WordPress blog.
Choosing attractive theme is important not in the search engine’s mind but it is important for leaving good impression in reader’s mind and so they will be attracted to subscribe your blog via email or via RSS feed reader.You can select the top most used News type WordPress theme and download it for free which I had selected for my blog but unfortunately I have to choose only one,so rest of the theme which are highly attractive , SEO optimized & even Free that you can choose for your blog.Right theme will possibly attract visitors but I will recommend you to create custom logo for your website to give it unique identity in Internet world.There are various website which provides free service to make logo for your website.If possible you can add favicon to your blog that will make your blog more unique.There are also so many online services provides you to generate custom favicon online for your website.
